Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are bidirectional biocatalysts catalyzing the glycosylation of
diverse molecules. However, the extensive applications of GTs in glycosides formation are …

Background Flavonol synthase (FLS) is the key enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of
flavonols, the most abundant flavonoids, which have diverse pharmaceutical effects …

Herein we describe the discovery and functional characterization of a steroidal
glycosyltransferase (SGT) from Ornithogalum saundersiae and a steroidal glycoside …

Abstract UDP-L-rhamnose (UDP-Rha) is an important sugar donor for the synthesis of
rhamnose-containing compounds in plants. However, only a few enzymes and their …

As the first step of ongoing efforts to investigate the genes responsible for the biosynthesis of
steroidal saponins in the medicinal plant Ornithogalum caudatum, this investigation reported …

The search of new substrates with pharmaceutical and industrial potential for biocatalysts
including cytochrome P450 enzymes is always challenging. Cytochrome P450 BM3 mutant …

Herein, a flavonoid glycosyltransferase (GT) OcUGT1 was determined to be able to attack C-
8 position of 7, 8-dihydroxyflavone (7, 8-DHF) via both glycosylation and transglycosylation …

The branched-chain sugar apiose was widely assumed to be synthesized only by plant
species. In plants, apiose-containing polysaccharides are found in vascularized plant cell …

Aurone glycosides display a variety of biological activities. However, reports about
glycosyltransferases (GTs) responsible for aurones glycosylation are limited. Here, the …

d-Galacturonic acid (GalA) is an important component of GalA-containing polysaccharides in
Ornithogalum caudatum. The incorporation of GalA into these polysaccharides from UDP-d …
